Brady Cook and all-time Mizzou QB stats

MU historical passing leaders
Cook Stats
A few things of note:
Cook's INT percentage was roughly half of Daniel/Lock and is far and away the best in Mizzou history. With as many passes as he threw that is VERY impressive.
In spite of his lack of TD passes as compared to those guys, his TD/INT ratio was still well ahead of them (3.33 vs. ~2.5)
His efficiency numbers were also as good or better than them.
He also ran for more TDs than those guys combined (21 to 19) and came close to running for more yards than both of them put together (1262 to 1407).
Cook's toughness, leadership, competitiveness, winning, etc. are talked about a lot, and deservedly so, but he was also a great college QB statistically.

I’m afraid there will be a huge drop off at the position

Huge drop off? From a passing perspective, I don’t see it.

I would agree. Probably more INTs but that comes with a QB who is looking to get the ball out of his hands more.

He's never been an accurate downfield passer. Made a lot of would be blowouts into close games.
But he won most of those close games.

His running ability is what made him a functional quarterback.
And I don't know how many teams spied him. He'd go along and then get critical 1st downs on 3rd and long. No matter he was a huge factor in Mizzou's ability to win close games over the past two seasons. He'll be missed.

You had to sacrifice coverage somewhere to get an athlete that can go sideline to sideline with him when he was healthy. He created space for Luther to work in. That didn't happen much this year.

Based on his lifetime MU stats you'd be a fool to argue that he wasn't one of the Tigers' best (or at least impactful) QBs.
I think what contributed to a lot of the heat he took was there seemed to be a good number of bad misses, and by that I mean sailing the ball over the head of an open receiver or inexplicably underthrowing him on short passes. Those missed opportunities stick out in fans' heads.
But when you slice and dice his overall stats compared to our other revered QBs, I gotta say he stacks up pretty well!
